Seattle’s home prices have crashed 50% Couldn’t happen to a nicer state. Existing home sales crashed but new home sales rebounded in November, which leaves today’s pending home sales as the deciding vote for just how apparently dismal the US housing market really is.. and the decision is – the housing market is in trouble […]

This story is weird on so many levels. A juvenile shooting a gun at an adult in another car? There’s more to this story. From the Moscow-Pullman Daily News: Moscow police arrested a juvenile allegedly involved in a shooting Monday afternoon on the north side of Moscow. No one was injured during the shooting, according

The sons and I need to check this place out! Via the Moscow-Pullman Daily News: MOSCOW — Limited seating in the upper story of a downtown Moscow building is intended to create a speak-easy vibe at a new Moscow drinking establishment. Neat is located at 107 First St., No. 107, on the second floor of the

This is a follow-up from the Moscow-Pullman Daily News: These photos are from Zach Wilkinson of the Daily News. Parks and roads were submerged in standing water Tuesday in Moscow as precipitation and melting snow pushed Paradise Creek past its flood stage. The National Weather Service reported the creek’s water level was at 10.7 feet

We had near-record flooding at Paradise Creek (which runs along the Moscow-Pullman Highway in front of the UI). It was one of the highest levels I’ve ever seen. And it was less than 4” from the record high. You will notice a jump in levels. There was an error with the gauge, and when it

I’m shocked! Shocked, I tell you, that the CIA would be involved in the Ukraine war. The CIA has been using a European NATO country’s intelligence services to conduct sabotage attacks inside Russia since the February invasion of Ukraine, investigative journalist Jack Murphy reported on Saturday, citing unnamed former US intelligence and military officials. The

No big surprise here. The USA also has had biological weapons ambitions for years. China had made clear its biological weapons ambitions long before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio), a member of the House Intelligence Committee. Wenstrup together with Republicans on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence

That’s a big head start to overtake. How long will Tesla hold onto its dominant electric vehicle (EV) market share? This is one of the biggest questions facing the U.S. automotive industry. On one hand, Tesla has a very strong brand and loyal customer base (similar to Apple). The company also has a headstart in

They (Joe and Hunter both) are going to need a good lawyer. As House Republicans gear up to grill Hunter Biden over a wide range of alleged influence peddling and other illegal activities with members of the Biden family, the First Son has hired famous white collar criminal defense attorney Abbe Lowell of the firm Winston

I’m trying to figure out what the Democrats have to gain by flooding the USA with illegals. Tennessee’s two Republican senators and Gov. Bill Lee are demanding a response from Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on its plans to transport illegal immigrants from New Orleans to the state in a letter sent on Tuesday. Sen.

From Visual Capitalist.  U.S. scientists at the National Ignition Facility, part of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), announced a major breakthrough in nuclear fusion this week. For the first time ever, scientists successfully produced more energy from a nuclear fusion experiment than the laser energy used to power it. In the above infographic, we describe nuclear

Of course it doesn’t. The COVID-19 antiviral drug Molnupiravir helps speed up recovery from the virus but does not reduce the hospitalization or death rate in higher-risk vaccinated adults, a new study has found. Molnupiravir, from Ridgeback Biotherapeutics and Merck & Co. is used to treat mild to moderate COVID-19 and can be taken at

Of course they can’t. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials are unable to locate any records of illegal immigrants taken into custody and placed in a federal program to “ensure non-detained non-citizen compliance with release conditions, court hearings, and final orders of removal,” according to a nonprofit government transparency advocacy group. “ICE has conducted a

Trust in the scientific method, not in science per se. And you cannot have the scientific method without trials and debate. Dr. Martin Kulldorff, a prominent epidemiologist and biostatistician and former Harvard School of Medicine professor, said he was “not surprised” after seeing concrete evidence that a post he shared on Twitter was flagged and prevented

When push comes to shove, climate change can be shoved. Germany is returning to coal as it faces its worst energy crisis in decades, even as it officially pursues its climate change goals. The central European nation is consuming coal at the fastest pace in almost six years, as it becomes one of the few

Back in March 2000, the UK Independent ran an article titled “Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past.” For all the mocking they received over the last 20+ years, the Independent pulled the article. But I have a screenshot and PDF of it. The prediction was by Dr. David Viner of the Climatic Research

I will follow this up with a climatologists’ prediction that snow is a thing of the past. Remember: when you break record cold records across the country, that’s only weather and means nothing. But when you break a heat record, now that’s proof of climate change! BUFFALO, N.Y. — Buffalo residents hovered around space heaters,

Since China is done taking over Hong Kong, they are not going to wait long to take Taiwan. China has sent 71 warplanes and seven ships near Taiwan over a 24-hour period this weekend, which was intended as a clear warning signal in response to President Biden signing the 2023 National Defense Authorization Act, given

You asked for $25 minimum wage You get: First fully automated McDonald’s in Texas Soaring labor costs and inflation have accelerated McDonald’s push into automation. The fast-food chain unveiled its first concept restaurant earlier this month in Forth Worth, Texas, without human interaction. The company wrote in a press release, “There’s never been a McDonald’s

Fascinating. As usual, the US spends a ton more money to get less results. Over the last century, life expectancy at birth has more than doubled across the globe, largely thanks to innovations and discoveries in various medical fields around sanitation, vaccines, and preventative healthcare. Yet, while the average life expectancy for humans has increased
